Figure and hockey skate sizes range from toddler’s size 8 to adult’s size 15. You may also bring your own ice skates.
Rent a Skate Helper for $6. For beginning skaters under 4 feet tall (48”) we offer Skate Helpers, penguin-looking tools that glide with the skater along the ice and help with balance and control. For safety considerations Skate Helpers are rented at the discretion of Rink Management. Skaters must be able to stand on their own and push the Skate Helper by themselves.
LOCKERS AND CONVENIENCES
Lockers may be rented for $3 and are large enough to hold a couple of pairs of shoes, a medium-size handbag and a few small purchases.
Bathrooms are located in the Union Square Parking Garage. Since skates may not be worn outside of the ice rink, we recommend you use the facilities before skating.
DOWNLOAD OUR APP
Download our app to get the Kaiser Permanente Skate-o-meter, ice rink information and the Virtual Queue to help you avoid waiting in line for sold out sessions. The Kaiser Permanente Skate-o-meter tracks the calories you burn while skating!
RAIN POLICY
We remain open in light to moderate rain but may close in heavy and sustained rain at the discretion of Ice Rink management. No refunds or rain checks will be issued for tickets purchased at the door, but rain checks will be honored for tickets purchased online in advance.
WHAT TO WEAR
As with most activities in San Francisco, the key to comfortable ice skating in Union Square is to wear layers; the temperature on the ice may range from chilly to warm, depending on the time of day, the number of skaters and the amount of energy one exerts. Mittens and hats always help. We do sell both mittens and socks if you need them.
GETTING HERE
Located at 333 Post Street in San Francisco, our ice rink sits in the heart of Union Square near the corner of Geary and Powell Streets. Numerous transportation options are available, and we encourage environmentally-friendly considerations such as walking, biking, riding Muni, taking BART or ridesharing.
Drive: If driving, signs lead to Union Square from most area freeways. Area parking garages provide plentiful parking options.
Walk: If walking from North Beach or Chinatown, take Grant Street south through the Chinatown gate to Maiden Lane, then turn right.
Bike: Bike paths are located nearby on both Market Street and Post/Sutter streets. Nearby parking garages offer bike parking.
Public Transit: If taking public transit, the SFMTA’s transit trip planner provides the most comprehensive schedules and routes for all options, including:
BART from the East Bay or southern San Francisco. Exit at the Powell Street station
San Francisco Muni bus lines 2, 3 and 76X stop at Union Square
Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde cable car lines stop in Union Square
San Francisco’s historic trolley car “F” line stops nearby at Market and Powell Streets
Fly: If flying to San Francisco to enjoy the magical holiday tradition of ice skating in Union Square, book with our sponsor, Alaska Airlines, for the best service and fares!
EATING HERE
For a dining experience, visit our sponsoring restaurants John’s Grill and Puccini & Pinetti. Both are located a quick two block walk from the ice.
STAYING HERE
Make your Union Square ice skating adventure a special getaway; enjoy a stay at one of our generous hotel sponsors, including Galleria Park Hotel, Hilton, Hotel Zoe, Parc-55, Hotel Triton, or Grand Hyatt San Francisco.
